Good work from Lincoln preventing a midweek fixture move.

My money would be on a Sunday derby. We will found out in the next 10 days.

My money would be on a Sunday derby. We will found out in the next 10 days.

Seems unlikely.

Man Utd v Everton on the Tuesday immediately after the Derby. Chelsea v Man City on the Wednesday.

On the assumption they want to show both those games, the Derby will need to be on the Saturday.

Arsenal v Man City on Derby Weekend too... In order to keep the Man City game on the Wednesday they can then show that game on the Sunday.

[stoz]

I saw somewhere, that the Derby wouldn't be the Sunday, because its the Liverpool Half-Marathon on that day too.

[Farman]

Getting twitchy for the April game announcements. Anyone have ideas yet of when the announcements might be?

[swoopy]

Monday at the latest according to the original article

Looking like Saturday so i wonder will it be an early kick off or the 5.30 slot ?

Until it's decided I've opted to live in the fantasy world where we end up the Friday night game, smash them 6 - 0 and Firmino personally drives everyone to Popworld in a swaying Tuk-Tuk Karaoke.

No more 5.30s I've been told, the TV companies have exhausted us.

Who told you that mate?  I just gambled earlier today on flights that it would be a Saturday game

BT Sport can only show the same team think 7 times in the season, they've reached that quota with us when we play Arsenal, it's same reason why that Monday will be our last Monday/Friday match of the season.

If the clubs and police agree is it still not playable on a Friday especially with the Marathon on Sunday

Arsenal is our 8th BT game, so maybe the terms have changed.  Please God anyway

[redmen27]

When can we expect to hear about Aprils televised games ?? Should be this week ?? No

Due to be announced next Monday.

Due to be announced next Monday.

I always get confused about next Monday - do you mean the next Monday (27 Feb) or the Monday after (6 Feb)

Some people see 27 Feb as this Monday

Any expectations on the Stoke game? Hoping it stays on the Saturday, usually we don't play on the Saturday at home when the Grand National is on but its an away game this year.

[Dan The Man 28373]

BT Sport can only show the same team think 7 times in the season, they've reached that quota with us when we play Arsenal, it's same reason why that Monday will be our last Monday/Friday match of the season.

The terms of the BT deal has changed as they got 4 more games this season in their 2 packages than last season, so 8 games is the max. no of games 1 club can have on BT this season.  Arsenal at home is our 8th & final one. 

We'll also not be on Fri or Mon night as now Leicester away has been confirmed for Mon 27 Feb, that was our 4th & final game in those packages.  WBA will be our 2nd game in the Bank Holiday package, as it will be on Easter Sunday, Apr 16 this season.

So any TV games for Apr & May will all be on SKY, KOs between Sat 1230. Sun 1330/1415, Sun 1600/1630.  Most likely to be Sun 1330/1415 or Sat 1230 as we've got 3 matches each left on Sat 1230 & Sun 1330/1415 & only 1 left on the Sun 1600/1630 package.

By the end of March, we'll have had 22 TV games.  The maximum across all the packages is 29 & we have 9 games in April & May, so at least 1 of the remaining games will be a Sat 1500 KO (Middlesbrough at home is a 1500 KO on Sun).

Man there

Sat 12:30 then please.  They surely can't put on an early KO Derby on the same day as the Half Marathon for the love of God

Can they not move the half marathon its not like its a full marathon 

[wewonit5timesinistanbul]

Can't see half marathon affecting Everton game. We've played at home to stoke in fa cup a few years ago on Same day as the half marathon. I'm doing half marathon and hopefully game will be the same day.

Starts at 9 so roads will be back open in city centre by 11 at latest

Sadio Mane is also doing the half marathon but he'll be finished by half nine and ready to play

I forgot about the new TV deal, with new quotas to boot.

[toonboy]

all of the premier inns booked for the sat night so looks like everyone is gambling on a sat k.o.

i wouldnt bother with staying the sat night if it is on a Sunday

[77kop05]

If it's a Saturday game flight home for me is 8 am Sunday so hotel Matthew st. and airport.

[Jamie_G]

Any idea when games will be confirmed for April? Or is it anytime the tv companies feel like letting the fans know their plans?

According to the link on Chelsea website
http://www.chelseafc.com/news/latest-news/2016/08/broadcast-selection-dates-announced.html

it should be today?

[Fontaine]

Happening today alright.  Probably lunchtime

[bunjibloomer]

Happening today alright.  Probably lunchtime

Yeah it was about 14.15 last day. They seem to drip feed the news per club or 2 from 14.00, or did last time anyway!

[Alf]
